WE REMEMBER

Buddy Poppies

In Flanders Fields
By John McCrae - World War I Colonel
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly.
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow
Loved, and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

WELCOME TO SILVER STATE

VFW Silver State Post 3396

The Veteran of Foreign Wars Silver State Post 3396 and its Auxiliary
supports our Service Members, Veterans, their Families, and our Community with various programs. The Veterans of
Foreign Wars of the United States is the Nation’s oldest major veterans’
organization, The VFW has an impeccable and longstanding record of
stewardship. VFW Post 3396 has more than 300
patriotic Americans, both members and non-members, who dedicate
thousands of volunteer hours for our community.

Over the last decade, approximately 80% of support received from VFW
members and patriotic Americans was applied directly to veterans
service, community service, legislative advocacy and military service
programs worldwide.

At the local level we are continually inspiring patriotism in our
young people with awarding scholarships in our Voice of Democracy,
Patriot Pen essay, Scout of the Year and Teacher of the year programs.
We strive to thank America’s educators by providing them with helpful
resources and encouraging our members to visit local classrooms. This
lets the VFW help educators with America’s future leaders and bring
history to life!

We participate in a wide range of assistance programs aimed at
helping service members and veterans of every generation. It is the
mission of the VFW post to work with unit commanders and senior enlisted
personnel to develop supportive relationships with units before, during
and after deployments. we offer a vast network of free resources and a
variety of direct support for military members and their families. We
have recently renewed our cooperation with our Adopted Nevada National
Guard units and are currently getting ready for Holiday parties and
deployment ceremonies.

It is with the support of our community partners we make all
this happen – if you are interested in joining or supporting please visit contact us at top of page.
